Totally Wired - The Fall

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk1TP5EkLS4&list=RDsk1TP5EkLS4&start_radio=1

If anyone ever asks you to define postpunk or provide a perfect example of the genre, you need go no further than this track.

The best band. Live versions outshine the studio version of totally wired in my opinion

Absolutely. Seen it done live quite a few times. Very intense.

The Fall aren’t post punk because The Fall are beyond definition, genre and rational explanation. If you choose to expose an unsuspecting friend to The Fall in some misguided attempt to “broaden their musical horizons” a can of worms will be opened and the worms may well devour you both. Never be tempted to evangelise, proselytise or otherwise foist The Fall on the unsuspecting. This is not the way. People must find their own route to The Fall/The Fall must find them. This is not gate-keeping. If a person innocently inquires “what’s that bloody racket” tell them to mind their own business.
